Blues centre-back will be hoping that he can face his former club Shrewsbury Town Saturday, but much will depend on the fitness of fellow defender Chris Barker. Graham Coughlan; hoping to face his former clubThe veteran centre-half Graham Coughlan will certainly be part of the the Shrimpers squad heading to Shewsbury Saturday to face his former club where he was team captain.Much though will depend on fellow defender Chris Barker getting the nod from Blues boss Paul Sturrock. Barker has recovered from his calf injury and has been training this week, but has Luggy seen enough for him to keep out Coughlan, who has been injured himself, or Luke Prosser, who played in the cup defeat against Macclesfield Tuesday.Graham was actuallly Shrews captain when they reached the League Two play-off final against Gillingham a couple of seasons ago, his first for the club, which they lost in the last minute, and was a regular member of the team that could only finish 12th last time around.And he's told www.shropshirestar.com that he believes failure to gain promotion in his time as a Shrew to be; "one of his biggest regrets in football."Expect though for Coughlan to be named as a sub where it's hoped he sees some game time at the Greenhous Meadow.
